NEW Yc2K.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The voting in this
city yesterday resulted in q complete vic
tory for the combined Democracy. For
the various State tickets about 215, 900
votes were cast. OF these Cook, the DEM
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State,
received 1O7, 761; Grant. Republican, 81, 949;
George, United Labor, 3S,367; Hall, Pro-
gressive Labor, about 1900. while the bal
lots for the Prohibition candidate and the
scattering votes make up the remainder.
The plurality for Cook is, therefore,
49, S12. The entire local ticket of the
combined Democrats was elected by vary
ing pluralities.s The vote on district at
torney shows plurality for Fellows over
Nicoll of 49, 1877. The United Labor candi
date for district attorney, louis F. Post,
polled3 about 1900 votes less than Mr..
George. Fellows ran about 81 600 votes
behind the Democratic State ticket. This
year Mr.. George received not much over
half of last years vote, when he ran for
mayor, this being attributed by many to
the opposition of the Catholic Church on
account of DR.. McGlynn's utilization with
the George movement.
The retuI ms from the State are not yet
complete, but enough has been received to
indicate that the Senate and assembly
remain Republican. The Senate now
stands Republican 20; Democrats t. The
next Senate according to present figures.
which are not complete, will stand as fol-
lows: Republicans 10; Democrats ID. The
present house stands as follows: Repub-
~ VI
are that this majority will be some what
reduced. p 81
NEW York, Nov. 10.-Patrick Ford, in
the Irish World claims the credit of hav-
ing defeated the United Labor party. He
says the falling off in the George vote IS
almost entirely due to Mr.. Georges rela-
tions with DR.. McGIynn. The defeat is
not defeat of the land tax doctrine, but
of the anti Catholic spirit infused into the
campaign. Mr.. Ford intimates that if
this mistake is rectifed, Mr.. George may
do better next year.
OHIO.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-The latest from the
city and county precincts show Foraker's
majority to be over 5000. He ran almost
even with his ticket. The Union Labor
ticket polled a very heavy vote, almost
equal to the Democratic, while the Pro-
y
in the county was bagged by the Republic
ans. A dispatch from Columbus this
forenoon says: "Returns have been re.
ceived that indicate a plurality of 10000
Tor Foraker. The legislature probably
;tands Senate, 25 Republicans; House, 6s
Republicans"
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 10.-Returns are not
yet all in. The Republican State central
committee now estimate Foraker's major
ity at $1,000.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-According to
the latest returns the plurality for Hart
and Williams, Republican candidates for
State Treasurer and Supreme Judge re-
spectively, is about $4,000 or 1900 less
than that for Governor Beaver. The
Prohibition vote is very light, probably
not more than one half that of last year,
which was over 1900.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 10.-The returns
received up to six o'clock last night indi-
cate the election of the Democratic State
ticket by about 10000. The Democrats
will have twenty-one members in the
State Senate and the Republicans five.
Sixty-six Democrats and twenty-five Re-
publicans have been cleo ted to the House
of Delegates. The Republicans elected
their entire Legislative ticket in Arundel
County. Arundel has always been Dem
ocratic.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 9.-The city vote
for Governor is as follows: Jackson
Dem. }, 81, 537; Brooks (Rep }, 1854; Bald
win (Pro.), 1859. Advices from che State
indicate the election of jackson by 1000
and the defeat Of the constitutional con-
vention. The Republicans show large
~l,o nd h.
ocratic majority in the Legislature will
not be more than 40, against IS two years
ago.
NEW JERSEY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Sun says that
returns from New Jersey up to one O'Clock
this morning make it certain that the Re-
publicans have elected at least four Sena-
tors, thus hold ing control of the Senate,
and have also made large gains in the
Assembly which will put that body in
their hands. This insures the election OF
Republican successors to State Comptrol-
er Anderson and State Treasurer Toffey,
both Republicans.
HOW THEY FEEL AT TIE WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-There is every
evidence at the White House of satisfac-
ton at the result of the election in New
York. They have very little to say, but
are evidently delighted. The President
has received numerous congratulatory
dispatches and he saw several callers
yesterday. Senators Cockrell, Vest,
Call and Pugh, and Representatives
Grain, Beard and Breckenridge called,
and all congratulated the President
themselves and the party in
general over the results of the election.
The President has no comments on the
result to make make public. Colonel La
mont was we'll pleased, but did not care
to talk much for publication. He said:
1.-THE result is extremely gratifying, Of
course I do not see how the Republicans
can hope TO carry New York now. They
have had many things to their advantage
in this contest, and if they were ever
going to carry the State, they should have
done SO this time. They have won
nothing since the presidential election
and don't see how they can hope for
any thing from New York in the future"
VIII Return to the Old Fold.
LEXINGTON, No., Nov. 10.-Quite COM
motion has been created in church circles
here by the withdrawal from the ministry
of the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
Rector John McFarlane, who declares his
intention of reuniting with the Presby-
terrain church, of which he was formerly an
evangelist. His resignation was accepted
as rector of Christ Church last night.
